The Vertigo Project from eric ayotte on Vimeo.
Vertigo is, by definition, induced. An extreme natural landscaper, typically, affects a disordered state of mind, or of things, within the observer, comparable to giddiness. From the initial physically orientated sensation of individual nausea, recoil and personal subsumation a general existential metaphysical condition arises.
The artists brought together for the installation of this project are divergent in their respective disciplines; yet they collectively explore the sensory experience of distopian realms utilizing a variety of senses. Sound, sight, touch and cognition are all evoked , to provoke a kaleidoscopic emotional response in the viewer. A common thread in their meditations is the isolation of a single piece of the quotidion, which is then radically reconstructed and then returned to the viewer as nebula in a plumb line.
Vertigo can be thought of as a one-liner that begins from a sensory experience and then expands via a comparative repetition to capture a universal meaning behind the individual experience. A common ‘lost’ sense of self is preserved through a collective, universalizing experience that first is first physical and then cerebral.
